Hello,
South of France, July 13, 2024.
Body length 5 mm.
I'm thinking of the genus Besseria but I don't know if it's right and if we can arrive at the species.
Thanks for your help with identification

Yes, Besseria is correct, it is either dimidiata or reflexa. Without a more lateral shot, I couldn't be sure.
